The Black Heritage Projects of Babatunde Oladele celebrate and preserve the rich cultural traditions, wisdom, and history of the African diaspora. Through this initiative, Babatunde and his team honor the voices, stories, and legacies that have shaped generations and continue to influence the present.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between past and future, drawing on the invaluable knowledge embedded in our heritage to guide and inspire today’s world.

These projects explore the profound philosophical traditions, oral histories, and cultural expressions of African communities across the globe. Each project within the Black Heritage portfolio focuses on specific aspects of African culture and heritage, providing a platform for learning, reflection, and connection.

Key Projects in the Black Heritage Portfolio:

1. Naijaspora: Nigerians in the Diaspora
   The Naijaspora project highlights the achievements and stories of Nigerians around the world. It showcases the cultural, economic, and social impact that Nigerians have made globally. From arts and education to technology and activism, the media arm of Naijaspora celebrates the contributions of Nigerian diasporas in shaping their adopted communities while maintaining deep connections to their roots.

2. Afrispora: Africans in the Diaspora
   Afrispora is dedicated to exploring the experiences, triumphs, and challenges of Africans living outside the continent. This project seeks to amplify the voices of African diasporas across the globe and provide a platform for their stories, showcasing how African heritage continues to shape identities, foster innovation, and create meaningful change around the world.

3. Yoruba Sayings: The Wisdom of the Yoruba People
   Yoruba Sayings is a unique project that brings forward the timeless proverbs and sayings of the Yoruba people, one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa. This resource is dedicated to preserving and sharing the wisdom of Yoruba culture, offering daily reflections on life, leadership, community, morality, and the rhythms of human existence. Each proverb is presented in its original Yoruba form, read aloud in an authentic voice, and translated into English with detailed explanations and real-world applications.

Mission & Focus

The Black Heritage Projects are dedicated to ensuring that the knowledge, stories, and wisdom of African communities are not only preserved but also actively promoted across generations. Our mission is twofold: to safeguard these profound cultural assets and to amplify the contributions of Africans and Nigerians in the diaspora, as well as the rich wisdom of Yoruba culture.

We aim to foster global connections, increase cultural awareness, and encourage engagement with African heritage through modern, accessible platforms. By celebrating the diverse cultures within the African diaspora, we strive to promote mutual respect, cultural pride, and a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of our shared history.

Cultural Significance

These projects serve as a dynamic testament to the resilience, creativity, and wisdom of the African diaspora. By making this invaluable knowledge accessible to a global audience, we not only educate but also cultivate appreciation for African cultural contributions, ensuring that they continue to inspire and shape societies worldwide.
